Chris Brough

Dr. Brough is CTO of AustinPx where he leads technology development and commercialization of the Company’s KinetiSol® Technology equipment. In 1999, he started a plastics recycling company based on a novel patented process that he invented, a forerunner to KinetiSol. That company was acquired by IntegriCo Composites in 2005. As IntegriCo’s VP of Engineering and Product Development, Dr. Brough led the development and deployment of his technology at IntegriCo and into multiple plastics industry partners. In 2006, Dr. Brough met Dave Miller and the two evaluated the technology for the creation of solid amorphous dispersions of pharmaceuticals. Upon successful results, Dr. Brough redesigned the equipment for pharmaceutical GMP use and joined Gershon Yaniv to launch DisperSol Technologies in 2007. Dr. Brough holds a BS and MS in mechanical engineering, along with an MBA from Brigham Young University and has a PhD in Pharmaceutics from the University of Texas at Austin. His research focused on drug solubility enhancement and abuse deterrent formulation applications of the KinetiSol process.
